In this project, I created three related images using a total of three unique photos, two of which I found on Flickr and one that I photographed myself.
I used several selections from the Photoshop toolbar to obtain my desired results. Some of these tools include:
Copy/ Paste
Cropping
Brush Tools
Magic Wand
Rectangular Lasso
Magnetic Lasso
Cloning Tool
Blur Tool
Masks
Levels
Photo Filters
Filter Effects
and More…
The three photos I started with are (I found the house and landscape on Flickr and I photographed my hand using an iPad camera):
After using the tools listed above, I created the following three pieces.
Though I learned quite a bit from class tutorials, I was more able to comprehend many of the tools once I started experimenting. I really believe this was a successful project because though I certainly would not call myself a Photoshop expert, I can now comfortably execute basic program commands.
